52: This is the rescue beacon.
Wang Feng had actually prepared himself mentally.
After all, she was worth one thousand Points, so this Kindergarten Teacher must have something special about her.
Whether it was the zombie carrying a sack in the first instance.
Or the powerful Shield Mountain Zombie in the second instance.
Anything tied to special resources would not be easily obtained.
But he still hadn't expected this situation.
Because—
"Holy crap! Why are there only children in this room?!"
"I thought Wang Feng had found something rare, but he actually drew the worst possible lot!"
The comments in the live stream room exploded.
"There are so many zombies in this instance! It's hard enough for one person to survive, but he has to bring a group of children?!"
"If I were Wang Feng, I'd turn around and run immediately!"
"Even an idiot knows that in an apocalyptic environment, women and children are burdens! Whoever takes them is finished!"
Yes.
Inside the room.
They were all kindergarten-aged children!
Behind the children stood a beautiful young woman.
Her clothes were simple, her face was covered in dust, and she wore a look of terror.
Although she wore no makeup, her natural beauty was still dazzling.
Like a bright pearl found in the ruins.
But at this moment, Wang Feng was in no mood to appreciate it.
To be honest.
He would rather face the Shield Mountain Zombie.
Or an enemy several times stronger than the Shield Mountain Zombie.
The young woman's lips trembled, and her eyes were filled with terror.
She tentatively opened her mouth to ask.
"Excuse me... are you here to rescue us?"
Her voice was soft and sweet, laced with a tremor.
The children beside her also huddled closer.
Wang Feng took a deep breath.
"Yes."
"I need you to come with me now."
The young woman looked at the children beside her.
"However... I must take these children with me."
"I beg you!"
Sure enough.
If he wanted to take this Kindergarten Teacher, he had to take the children too.
Wang Feng pondered for a moment.
He quickly flipped through the memories in his mind.
Then, he nodded.
"Fine, we'll take these children with us!"
The young woman was full of gratitude, thanking him profusely.
"Thank you so much!"
"You are our benefactor!"
Under the direction of the young Kindergarten Teacher, the children busily packed their things.
They were more orderly than expected.
"Children, remember to stick close to Uncle later!"
"No talking, and no making noise!"
"Okay, Teacher Qiu!"
The young woman walked up to Wang Feng.
Her heavy shoulder bag pulled down on the strap, which pressed deeply into the full, rounded curve of her chest.
Two large water bags swayed back and forth in front of Wang Feng.
"My name is Qiu Churou, what is your name?"
"Wang Feng."
And so.
Wang Feng led the Kindergarten Teacher and a string of little ones out of the kindergarten, heading straight for the instance entrance.
These children were more disciplined than expected; they actually didn't make a sound during the journey.
Wang Feng was somewhat surprised.
As they advanced, zombies kept closing in.
Wang Feng swiftly chopped off all their heads.
Meanwhile, outside the live stream room.
The people in Carriage No. 83 were completely restless.
"Boss! How could you agree to that?!" Zhang Qiang shouted immediately.
"There are so many zombies outside! It's hard enough escorting one adult, how is taking so many children and a woman any different from suicide!"
On the screen.
Because he was escorting women and children, Wang Feng's pace was extremely slow.
Zombies continuously appeared from all directions.
Danger emerged every moment, from the front, back, left, and right.
Relying on the physical strength provided by Gene Enhancement, Wang Feng rapidly darted through the group.
But the defensive pressure was simply too great.
Often, just as he finished dealing with the zombies in the front, cries for help would come from the back of the line.
When he dealt with the zombies in the back, the cries for help attracted even more zombies.
He couldn't kill them all! It was impossible to kill them all!
Wang Feng transformed into a firefighter, using both gunshots and blades!
Like a dancer on a knife's edge!
The battle on the screen made the people in Carriage No. 83 extremely anxious.
Sounds of awe and sharp intakes of breath rose and fell.
Wang Hao's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Captain! Give up!"
"How can you possibly leave with women and children!!"
"Exactly!" Liu Sheng chimed in agreement.
"That woman looks like a normal person, only worth three Points! Even with the children, this group is only worth thirty-something Points!"
"It's not worth this risk!"
Even Zhang Yuqi, who was also a woman, frowned deeply.
The team's travel speed was just too slow!
It was like a snail crawling!
At this rate, they probably wouldn't even be able to return on time.
Master!
Change the person!
These people really can't do it!
Carriage No. 83 was frantic and sweating profusely.
The rest of the audience couldn't understand what Wang Feng was trying to do either.
"I think Wang Feng is probably going to run into trouble this time!"
"This is a life-or-death battle determining the survival of the carriage; how can he win with such a group of liabilities?"
"Forget returning to the instance entrance, the zombies along the way are enough to give Wang Feng a hard time!"
In stark contrast to Wang Feng's situation was Wan Jinxuan's three-person squad.
They had found several female NPCs.
But they didn't take a single one.
They only looked for adult males.
After nearly half an hour of searching and rescuing, they finally found an armed squad trapped in an office building.
There were seven people!
Submachine guns, grenades, and even high-lethality rocket launchers!
On the way out, these NPCs could even help kill zombies.
Their efficiency was extremely high!
In just over ten minutes, they covered half the distance.
More importantly, these armed forces also helped them mark the locations of their other teammates.
Next, as long as Wan Jinxuan delivered them to the instance entrance, he could turn back and rescue more armed forces!
While others were struggling to survive with ordinary people, Wang Feng was trudging along with children.
But Wan Jinxuan was rescuing only armed forces!
The advantage was enormous!
The three members of Wan Jinxuan's team were laughing and chatting, as if victory was already guaranteed.
The live stream room favored them even more.
"Look at Wan Jinxuan! What a phenomenal start! He actually found an armed squad!"
"Their advancing speed is too fast! The zombies along the way can't even fight them off!"
"They can even use rocket launchers to clear the way for Shield Mountain Zombies!"
"It's a shame their jeep was blown up by Wang Feng, otherwise they would have returned to the instance entrance by now."
"Next, let's see how they break through the zombie tide at the instance entrance."
Inside the instance.
Wan Jinxuan was laughing quite arrogantly.
"Hahaha! We are definitely the winners of this instance!"
Du Hao and A Hua followed up with flattery.
"As expected of the second-ranked player in the Fifth Sequence!"
"Following you definitely means we get to feast!"
"Haha—now I just want to see what Wang Feng's side looks like!"
Their carriage also started cheering.
"We've definitely won now!"
"The Captain's strength is obvious to everyone. Even if they get Points, no one can defeat him!"
"Once the Captain accumulates enough Points, he might even be able to kill others and steal their Points!"
"Come on, bring out the hot pot! Brothers, let the feast begin! Let's eat and watch!"
The carriage was also filled with laughter.
Another ten-plus minutes passed.
Wan Jinxuan arrived at the instance entrance.
Another captain was huddled in the corner with several dirt-covered youths.
They had a headache looking at the overwhelming zombie tide.
"Jinxuan, we can't rush through with this many zombies."
"But we went through all that trouble to bring these people here, and now we can't get in—that's rough!"
Wan Jinxuan smiled confidently.
"Don't worry."
"We'll leave the people at the instance entrance first."
"We'll make a few round trips and bring all the armed forces personnel here."
"When time is almost up, if no one has drawn away the zombie tide, we will stir up chaos at the instance entrance!"
"Since we can't get in, other teams must also be blocked here."
"Once the chaos breaks out and the zombie tide disperses enough, we'll rush in with our people!"
The plan was simple.
Or rather, there weren't many options when facing a zombie tide.
After making the decision, A Hua stayed behind to protect the NPCs, and the other two continued their return trip.
"Haha, the Captain is so smart, knowing to stockpile the NPCs at the instance entrance first."
"Then, just like at the start of the instance, he'll muddy the waters and make the zombies split up to chase others."
"We're winning big, brothers!"
The people in the carriage were eating hot pot and singing songs, feeling very comfortable.
"Didn't some people support Wang Feng earlier?"
"Do you dare speak now?"
"Bringing a group of women and children into a zombie instance, who else would lose if not him! Hahaha!"
"I'll buy the women from Carriage No. 83 for 100 Points each, I'll take as many as you have!"
"Haha, I'll offer 80 Points! Come to my carriage, and I guarantee you'll eat fried dough sticks dipped in soy milk every day!"
The live stream comments were a total mess.
The people in Carriage No. 83 were trembling with anger, passionately arguing in the live stream room.
However, in the live stream footage.
Wang Feng was still entangled with zombies, accompanied by these women and children.
The disadvantage was too great.
Even they couldn't see any hope of victory.
In the span of one hour, Wan Jinxuan brought back another squad of armed forces.
The total number reached 18 people.
Furthermore, their firepower was immense.
At the entrance to the instance, more Survivors and NPCs gradually gathered.
Everyone stared at the dense zombie horde, unsure of what to do.
On the other side.
Wang Feng finally shook off the pursuing zombies and rested in a safe area with Qiu Churou and the children.
"I'm sorry! Truly sorry!"
"We held you back!"
"If the Escort Unit were still here, perhaps we could have evacuated earlier."
Qiu Churou apologized repeatedly.
Wang Feng, however, caught the crucial piece of information.
"Escort Unit?"
"Ah, yes." Qiu Churou added.
"Our original Shelter was hit by a zombie tide, and everyone scattered."
"I brought these children and holed up in the kindergarten waiting for rescue."
"It's just that the rescue beacon had been broadcasting for a long time, and no one came."
Wang Feng looked at Qiu Churou.
She patted the cross-body bag at her waist.
"This... is the rescue beacon."
